Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque | Abu Dhabi City Tour | Private SUV
Description
A trip to the UAE isn't complete without a visit to Abu Dhabi. Take a journey back to where it all began on December 03, 1971 - the capital & business hub of the UAE. Abu Dhabi is the largest of the UAE's seven emirates. Our city tour will give you insight into the ancient history of the city and its move to become the wonderful mixture of tradition & modernity it is today. The key is the visit of Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, an architectural work of art; this mosque is one of the largest in the world with a capacity of 41,000 worshipers. It has seven imported chandeliers that incorporate millions of Swarovski crystals. The largest chandelier is the second largest known chandelier inside a mosque, the third largest in the world. The carpet in the main prayer hall is considered to be the world's largest carpet. There are 2,268,000,000 knots within the carpet & it took approximately 2 years to complete. The grand mosque is voted the world's second favorite landmark by TripAdvisor.

Tour guide was very friendly, booking is a bit misleading; shows only 3 locations which was really all we wanted to do. Instead we had the mosque, palace and ended up skipping Ferrari since we were burnt out. Added trips that were a surprise to us…some mad max experience which we were not up for, Miraji which is a front of an art gallery just trying to sell you stuff, date shop and of course in the mosque we were directed to the most expensive abayas. Lunch was also a miss brought us to a buffet which was flooded with tourists and the premium suv was a Kia van. Overall the guide was the absolute highlight but an expensive experience. I’d recommend just doing an Uber or a Careem where you can select exactly where you’d like to go.
Wonderful. The chandelier and the carpet are obviously something of a record but the details of the tiles alone, the cleanliness in general, the seriousness of the people who work there, the respect that surrounds you, the majesty of this Mosque is something otherworldly.

TOLERANCE. all over the world, and PEACE. The feelings that we have felt during the visit to the Grand Mosque in Abudhabi. Speechless and big and special thank to Mr Zhayed.He was professional,clear,and most of all friendly during our Tour. Thanks again Carlo and Eleonora
Wow beautiful! - architecture layout, carpets chandeliers, the thought put into it. Must do a tour which are offered hourly at the entrance. Learned so much. Abdulrahman Alali was our tour guide - friendly, passionate and knowledgeable. A wonderful uplifting experience.
We had a great time and the staff were amazing and they accommodate our request for guided tour with Miss Moza Al Mansori a very professional and extremely nice person
Breathtaking place, so beautiful and artistic. The workmanship is out of this world. It looks stunning at night, a must visit if you are holidaying in Abu Dhabi
The beauty, craftmanship & tranquility is absolutely breathtaking. We joined a guided tour led by Sultan Al Mansoori who was charming, knowledgeable and engaging. Wearing a traditional abaya made the experience more authentic & traditional. I loved my visit to this truly magnificent landmark.
Thanks so much for your review. I’m delighted you found that booking our tour was the right decision and you and your family had such a good time. We trust you will all enjoy the rest of your travels here just as much! Thanks again for the feedback and choosing our tour. Regards
It is the fourth time I visit this place and it is always worth it. It is the most iconic monument in UAE, symbol of a cultural and religious heritage which defines this wonderful Country. Definitely at the first place of things to visit in AD and UAE. I wOils recommended to visit it also at night as it is open until 10pm, the atmosphere it is simply magic.
Dear Elen, Thank you for the 5-stars! We hope to see you again soon!
Recently returned from UAE (2-8 February). Very happy to take excursions to Al Saqr Travel. Buy sightseeing tours of Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Tours were several times cheaper than our hotel operator TEZ TOUR offered us. The tours were satisfied. The guides (Alina and Marina) told fascinating and informative stories. Small groups, which is good, comfortable minibus. The office is next to the Ramada by Wyndham Beach Hotel Ajman. I would like to express a special thanks to manager Vusal for his kindness, hospitality and assistance to inexperienced tourists :))
“Wow, thanks so much for taking the time to share your kind comments. That’ll put a smile on my face for the rest of the day! It was a pleasure to have you. The team and I are so happy we could make your holiday so wonderful.
I took this tour from the same guys i took Dubai City tour. This was a half day, trip worth it. To go inside the mosque meant so much to me. The driver waiting while i tour inside the mosque. The city was so neat and Emirates Palace is so huge and beautiful. A short trip to dates market, where i was given time if i needed to choose from more than a 30 varieties of dates to take back home. I could taste them and yes, I did pack some. The driver takes to Ferrari world too. I did not had plans to ride any ( ticket we have to buy separate and its only for full day Abudhabi tour) so jst had a look from outside. Again we drove thro all the points mentioned in their tour itinerary. It was all good and well organized, on time and professional. I'm very glad and thinking when to visit UAE again.
Thank you for your review. Really appreciate.
